We propose the term 'Venus effect' for a common phenomenon in picture perception. It occurs when a picture shows an actor and a mirror that are not placed along the observer's line of sight, for instance a Venus admiring herself in a small mirror, and when the actor's reflection in the mirror is visible to the observer. In this situation, observers tend to report, incorrectly, that Venus is also seeing herself in the mirror in the same location as the observer. We discuss this using famous paintings as examples.
我们提出“维纳斯效应”这一术语来描述图片感知中的一种常见现象。当一幅画展示的演员和镜子没有沿着观察者的视线放置时，比如维纳斯对着一面小镜子欣赏自己，并且观察者能看到演员在镜子中的反射影像时，就会出现这种现象。在这种情况下，观察者往往会错误地报告说，维纳斯也在镜子中看到了自己，而且看到的位置与观察者相同。我们将以著名画作为例来讨论这一现象。
